In formal or business settings, 'quedar' is often used to indicate a scheduled meeting or appointment, e.g. 'Quedaré con usted a las 2 pm.' (I'll meet with you at 2 pm.). However, in informal contexts, it's common to use 'quedar' to refer to a casual gathering or hangout, e.g. 'Quedamos a tomar un café.' (Let's grab a coffee.). One common learner mistake is to confuse 'quedar' with 'permanecer', which implies a longer or more permanent stay, e.g. 'Me quedé en la ciudad durante una semana.' (I stayed in the city for a week.).
